Your Ride: 1993 318is ....yes I know, it's not fast!
newbie looking for love....a 325i

Hi all,

Just joined so I thought i'd pop me head round the door....

I have had a E36 '93 318is (M42) for the past 2 years and have to admit that it has converted me forever! After having some much more powerful and more expensive cars in the past ranging from turbo rice burners to an audi quattro I fell upon some hard financial times so bought a sensible 318is and I never looked back! The amazing build quality, handling & simple maintenance are a god-send as is the fuel consumption (35mpg motorway and 30 in town)....why can't all cars be this well built?!

Well the time has come to part with the 318is and at last get a 6 cylinder. Which is where I could use some advice....323i 325i or 328i?! I will have about £3.2K, which I know isn't alot but should get me something half decent without star ship enterprise milage

I would prefer a Vanos Block, e36 coupe 325i... I think. Anything I should look out for apart from the usual: rear suspension, cooling system, water pump....? Is the 323i better / worse that the 325i and should I be looking the 328i as well for this price?

Thanks for any advice...
